CDE researcher Johanna Jacobi was awarded a fellowship as Assistant Professor of Agroecological Transitions at ETH Zurich within the Swiss National Science Foundation’s Eccellenza programme. Her project “Does food democracy matter? Linking the deliberative quality of soy and coffee value chains to ecological ‘foodprints’ (DELIBERATE)” examines whether ecological “foodprints” of agri-food value chains become smaller when producers and consumers have more opportunities and sovereignty in decision-making.
